So my latest build is a '75 Appearance Group car.
Car is currently in the body shop being stripped to bare metal. Motor and tranny were just rebuilt... going for a retro look. Rivs, Porsche negative side stripe, Monza exhaust, Vittaloni mirrors and a few interior items to keep it '70s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) got a load of stuff from MikeK (914magazine) today. 4 very nice Rivs 2.0L heat exchangers with associated heater stuff Monza exhaust 2.0L muffler hanger Koni front struts spare trigger points Custom pedal board original grain vinyl for the sail panels and targa bar here are some pics of the stuff. first pic is one of the heater tubes media blasted second pic is tube final product. entire exhaust system will be done the same. Pic of one of the Rivs I did a quick polish with power ball and aluminum polish.. black paint on the Rivs is perfect, just needs to be cleaned and waxed. here are a couple of pics of stuff that will be media blasted by myself tomorrow and then painted by me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The point of this car is to build a daily driver that looks period correct, and to be a PAX weapon in the GGR AX series. Even with a very moderate suspension package I will be in AX 16 which will give me a very nice multiplication factor for TTOD.

I think the brightness factor would be indistinguishable unless side-by-side. I have a similar dilemma in that I'd far prefer the 73 MY's Marathon or Alaska Blue Metallic on mine in the resto, but was advised by George H & many others to go back to the original L80E on my 73 2L, as well as myself then researching prices on many original vs. color changed 914's & the prices sold were 40-50% or more higher on original color 914s pretty consistently (after adjusted for condition - some as much as double!). So I'll be doing L80E. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) FYI - recently I did an L80E colors post on O&H asking for the color paint mix, which has examples/pix/linx of both the 911 & 914 versions, as well as different lighting on the 914 ones, etc. |
